Xanthus Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 http://cgi.ebay.com/black-GIBSON-LES-PAUL-...1QQcmdZViewItem /\ Check that link out, for a sec. I'm really not sure what to make of it. Who in their right mind would be selling an LP-style guitar for a Buy-It-Now price of 7 bucks??? I've read the description a few times over, is there anything I'm missing? Maybe this is a finely crafted 1/20th scale model or something? Just thought I'd pass it along for y'all. Oh look! A JEM for $5 plus shipping! -Xanthus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Run, don't walk, away from deals like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanthus Posted August 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 hahahahaha, I never said anything about buying it! My thought is that they're making all their money on shipping. 190 GBP = 362 USD Still, who WOULDN'T pay $370 for a Korean-made Bullseye Les Paul? Anyone? Anyone? -Xanthus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotgoalie11565 Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 I'm sure you could find more than a couple of people who wouldn't. Is it just me or does anyone else get a vision of the people in this factory taking a bunch of Saga les paul types and slapping Gibson headstock logos on them?

Racer X Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 I would avoid the asian auctions, completely. Rampant crappy copies, amok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GodBlessTexas Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 If it comes from China, it's 99.99999999999999999% of the time a fake. Ebay doesn't do anything about them because they want the listing fees, but the site is completely flooded with fakes, especially in the guitar section.
